The Tenementals runs on love and solidarity, made manifest in multifarious ways. On Saturday 31 May, we're playing at Black Box in Belfast and we're super-grateful to Belfast cartoonist Andrew Pope who printed off 75 posters and put them up in local cafes! Image: Self portrait by the man himself.

Wow! We are hugely honoured that the International Association for the Study of Popular Music Journal has a review of our album. It's penned by Simon Frith, perhaps the key figure in the development of Popular Music Studies. He has some kind words to say to boot! iaspmjournal.net/index.php/IA...

Some words from our Facebook page about Palestine.

"The top 50 richest families in the UK now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population, comprising more than 34 million people." Inequality is hard-wired into capitalism; the time for systemic change is long overdue. www.theguardian.com/uk

Tomorrow night we are playing a fundraiser in Paisley for Medical Aid for Palestine. As the Israeli military repeatedly bombs hospitals in Gaza, it has never been more necessary. Please pass it on.

We ordered four new t-shirts which are on our website and you can buy them for £15 - most band t-shirts are £25, we reckon. They are good quality, for sure, but our aim is to get them out there rather than accrue dough. Go get 'em!

Happy May Day from The Tenementals! Capitalism is the most effective system ever created for destroying the planet's resources: human existence and capitalism seem increasingly incompatible. We have to find another way. "our demands most moderate are, we only want the earth" (James Connolly, 1907)

Fair enough for the Scottish First Minister to bemoan the lack of powers at the Scottish Parliament; however, influencing the programming of TRNSMT should not be within either his or its remit. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2512150...
